Marco Made Easy

Marco Pierre White was born in Yorkshire in 1961. The son of a chef, and the grandson of a chef, Marco's career was predictable, though his astounding achievements in global gastronomy could never have been foreseen.
At 16 he became an apprentice chef at the Hotel St George, in Harrogate, before going on to cook at Britain¿s finest restaurants: The Box Tree, Le Gavroche, Chez Nico, La Tante Claire and Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons.
In 1993, at the age of 33, he became the first British chef - and the world¿s youngest - to win three Michelin stars (with his restaurant at the Hyde Park Hotel).He retired from the professional kitchen in the late 90s, but remains a key figure in Britain's restaurant world. To date he has opened some 40 restaurants as well as a couple of good inns, the Yew Tree and The Swan
